Which of the following is the LEAST likely explanation for why eliminating 95% of the bacteria present in the light organ is necessary?

    At dawn the squid prepares to hide in the sand for the day and it ejects about 95% of the bacteria from the light organ in order to reduce or stop the growth of bacteria population in the squid. This will prevent the bacteria population from reaching a level too high for the squid to support.
